Molly, please try to buy the Bach. I know you've been looking for months and this is the best horn you've shown us so far. Maybe some others could suggest a ceiling price for bidding, I'm thinking $600 or $700 max. As for the Allegro, that'd be ok at $200, BUT it's not a "pro" horn. Get the Bach and you'll be set until college, at least, and maybe beyond.

I "used to" drool over the Dillon's website (and Horntrader's also!) ... until the Schilke and Eclipse managed to get through the front door! One question I do have, however... their prices seem on the high side to me. Does anyone know if they are negotiable at all?

Most music stores used prices are a bit higher. It is usually worth it. They have a return policy, and reputation to uphold, and a shop that they can be run through. This adds to the cost. Yes you can often get the same horn on eBay for a bit less, but you take a chance. It may work, it may not.

As for negotiable, everything usually is. Unless they think they can sell it for the asking price!
